JAMES TALBOT DIES AT AGE OF 77 YEARS --

James Talbot, 77, pioneer plainsman and one of the most widely known of 
Cheyenne's early settlers, died this morning at 6 o'clock at his home at 
Nineteenth and O'Neil street after a long illness incidental to advanced age. 
He was a native of Ireland, born at the family home at the village of 
Honeymound.

He is survived by two sons, Edward and R. J. Talbot and five daughters, besides 
a sister, Mrs. Anna Donavan of Mountain Top, Pennsylvania, and a brother Thomas 
F. Talbot of 1227 West Twenty-seventh street, Cheyenne. Edward Talbot, a son of 
the dead man departed from Chicago for training at American Lake with the last 
contingent of selectives. Besides members of his immediate family Mr. Talbot is 
survived by a number of grandchildren, nephews and nieces.

In company with his brother Major John Talbot he came to Cheyeene in 1867, 
literally tramping down the grass and weeds at the point on West Nineteenth 
street where the Talbot home stands, to make a place in which to pitch their 
tent. In his younger manhood, Mr. Talbot was engaged as a plasterer, bricklayer 
and contractor, erecting the Davis block and many of the business homes on 
Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets.

For three years Mr. Talbot was a member of the city council. He served as 
coroner of Laramie county for two years. 

Mr. Talbot was married to Miss Anna Padden in 1867, the ceremony being 
performed by Rev. Father Kelley in the first catholic church built in Cheyenne.
